Open Carry Dearborn Police Station James V Baker ( language warning )

I really cant understand WTF these guys were thinking was to happen doing this stunt. Open carry with your face covered into the police station is
pretty much not going your way. Idiots extreme.

The first minute is actual footage, the rest...I suppose the camera was face flat so only audio from then on.

Published on Feb 5, 2017 James V Baker enters Dearborn Police Station to file a complaint about being pulled over. A live feed of him walking into a
police station with a ski mask and an AK-47, then refusing to comply with the cops orders while they had guns aimed at him.

These Ancaps are god damn crazy. He should count himself lucky to be alive.

Walking into a police station with a rifle and face covered? Not at all beyond the pale to think, without hearing him talk before, he was planning a
much more sinister act. Police would've been well within their right to shoot imo.

Yes they are lucky to be alive. These officers showed great restraint considering recent events. In the video after it goes black, It gets heated and
then you can hear an officer or two completely baffled as to what these idiots were thinking.

Idiot; "I came in to file a complaint"
Officer; "Well this is a police situation, you can file a complaint later"

A slung rifle with a ski mask and what appears to be a ballistic vest?

Let's not try to play this down like all he did was carry a rifle slung across his back into a PD station and they flipped out. He went out of his way
to provoke them and it worked, and it's idiotic to pretend it's a simple "open carry cops can't deal" situation.

These officers showed amazing restraint. Kudos for them. The idiots involved likely lost their right to own and carry firearms. Dearborn is not a
place to play games like this. Then to top it off they uploaded it to youtube. No doubt they will get a ton of support though.

These are the type of idiots that give those of us who are fighting to preserve the 2nd a bad name. To bad they didn't get the Darwin award.
IDIOTS!

Exactly. Just because something is technically under the letter of the law doesn't mean it is a very wise move to make. I've worked very diligently to
teach my kids proper safety standards for handling and use of a firearm and try to impart upon them some of the lessons I learned in the 10th Mtn Div.
Morons like this make every one of us who fight to maintain our 2A rights look like we're all in the same boat. Though I will admit that the irony
isn't lost on me that many of us in the same boat will often use a similar blanket statement through association regarding all Muslims but that's a
little too off topic to entertain right now.

It would be one thing to open carry into a police station, which in itself is stupid. But to do so with your face covered is being purposely
confrontational simply for the sake of media attention. Unfortunately it's going to be mostly negative because they come off looking like jackasses.

The location considered, the mounted cameras, the masks and the firearms would comprise a reasonable threat in any court of law.

I would have hesitated about zero seconds before opening fire on those two.

Cops are people who are acutely aware of what it means to go home safely at the end of the day. These yahoos apparently didn't read that memo.

Oh absolutely. If my dogs started barking and I saw those fools on my security feed, they probably wouldn't have a chance to ring the doorbell. Their
sole intent was to create a confrontation and I question the seriousness of actually wanting to file a complaint over a traffic stop.

They're irresponsible morons. Sooner or later, karma will bite them on the ass. I just hope they don't take things farther the next time. Legal or
not, there's a time and place for everything. The police station was neither the time nor the place for this.
